Extraordinary Sailing (Extraordinary Voyage)
Chapter 259: Shadow and black dike
The eleventh day that Aiwen and his entourage arrived at Nisk Water City, and also the fourth day of the second cruise of "Cape Storm".
The whole journey of the second routine cruise mission was still calm. After they reached the far sea boundary, they began to turn around and return.
Obviously, compared with life in Nisk Water City.
The days of cruising during this period are really a bit torment, especially when the enemy is not known or whether it will come!
"When is this kind of day that can only passively wait for the enemy to come to the door to be the leader?"
Milan hung himself softly on the railing of the stern tower, watching the white wakes of the battleship passing the sea, weakened.
"As a ‘prophet’, are you embarrassed to ask us this question?"
Aiwen gave him a blank look, and he still wanted to ask when he was tall!
drifting like this all day, although it has little effect on his current research progress.
But you must always devote a bit of energy to guard against enemies that may come at any time, or even the worst scenario expected-sea monsters!
really sad.
Although the pressure on his shoulders is not great, if I can end this life as soon as possible, Ivan would be very happy to see it.
"It was obvious that there was an evil **** behind Huggins supporting him, and the kingdom officials could not get the slightest news.
Let me divination? Let's not say whether it can be divination.
Even if it can be fortune-telling, without waiting for me to tell the result, it may have been contaminated by Cthulhu from a spiritual perspective into a mass of rotten flesh that can only wriggle.
Do you want to see the tragic appearance of my heroic sacrifice? "
Milan turned himself over like a salted fish in the sun, and made a strange expression with a tongue-out and out-of-recognition towards Aiwen.
"Well...."
Milan has a point, but Ivan has encountered similar problems before.
The same problem exists when divination of the "Dead Soul Box" in the hands of the "God of Opera" Purcell.
However, at that time, you don't have to worry about losing control or losing your life for divination, because Purcell, the source of power, is sealed.
is just divination without any results.
But the thinking at the time can be used for reference, that is, instead of directly divining the powerful target, but divining the object that may be affected by him.
Anyone who has walked will leave traces. Unless they are strong enough to form a universe, they must be inextricably linked with the world.
Just like humans cannot directly observe black holes, they can make indirect observations through various celestial bodies and microscopic particles affected near it.
divination can naturally also be used in this way.
"Fortunetelling the future of "Storm Horn"?"
Milan fell into deep thought when he heard Irwin's thoughts.
As a new "prophet", he has been working hard to improve his witchcraft level. This kind of technical method that does not belong to the category of witchcraft has been ignored.
"Yes, we, as the defense force of the Leiden Valley, if something unexpected happens, we people must be the first to bear the brunt.
As long as we can determine when we may be in danger of accidents, we can indirectly infer when the enemy will take action.
Although it may be indirectly affected by the presence of a high position, it is good to divination to only a few words. "
Ivan thinks that his idea should still be feasible, at least it has been verified when the final "random host" Wacker Wells was determined before.
"It's not impossible to try it, and waiting passively all day is not an option.
It's just that the more objects of divination at the same time, the higher the difficulty.
We can select ten representative people for each post from the crew, and the difficulty can be greatly reduced.
Moreover, even if the official ‘prophet’ does not gain, it does not mean that we will fail.
Fortune-telling still depends on inspiration, even an apprentice may make amazing predictions.
Let this "Prophet" try it! "
Touched his chin and thought for a while, Milan clapped his hands and connected the joints, and even eager to try.
The risk of this kind of indirect divination is not big, even if it fails, it will only get no results, and it will not threaten the caster himself.
However, there is still a difference between actively making divinations that may affect hundreds of lives and deaths, and passively receiving information from the spiritual world.
In the passive state, you cannot choose the information you want to know. It can only be used as a signal receiver to passively receive information transmission from the spirit world, just as the fatal danger of "Silver Wing" being ambushed by the "Sharktooth Pirates" was predicted. Same time.
Although passively prophesied, it is the one that Milan least wants to see.
After he became an official wizard (prophet), he already has the ability to complete active predictions, but he needs to do more ritual preparations.
"Bring me seven candles, a pot of holly leaf essential oil, a piece of incense, three white crystal jewelry, a larger silver container..."
Milan unceremoniously reported a series of materials that needed to be used. He knew that there must be reserves in Alvin’s "magic pocket", he took out his crystal ball, rolled up his sleeves and was ready to go for a big fight.
It seems that the problem that has caused the official "prophet" to come back in feathers will be solved in front of him.
However, when he raised his head to confirm the current position of the sun, he suddenly froze!
Aiwen was still lowering his head and following Milan’s command and took out the things he needed from the "magic pocket". Since he had a portable space, he felt a lot better.
Not only the reserves of all kinds of witchcraft supplies, weapons, food, and drinking water, but also the alchemy bombs that are already eligible for the captain of the battleship were thrown in two boxes.
He who once complained about Milan Xiao (tan) Xin (sheng) Jin (pa) Shen (si), in fact, he is not inferior at all.
Snapped! Snapped!
Aiwen suddenly felt Milan pat his shoulder, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I feel our trouble has come!"
Milan's face was stiff and her tongue trembled, and she slowly raised her fingers to the sea not far away.
"Does the divination result? How could it be so fast..."
Ivan had just said half of the puzzled words, and realized something, his body instantly bounced, following Milan's fingers, looking towards the sea not far to the right in front of "Storm Horn".
The color of the calm sea just now has changed suddenly!
Gulu Gulu...
A large shadow like ink has spread quickly under the water surface, and the sea is constantly surging with snow-white foam as if it is boiling.
The surging sea then formed a wall of water three to four meters high, whizzing out with the shadow as the center.
The big waves slapped on the side of the ship, and the splashing water could already splash onto the deck.
rush rush... rush rush...
Surge after wave, it looks like something giant is about to float up from the bottom of the sea... the sound of the great beluga whale when it came out of the sea to attack the whaling ship, compared to the firefly In the sun and the moon.
is totally incomparable!
As a Tier 4 battleship, "Storm Horn" is by Sombra's side, just like an insignificant bug.
"So big! It won't be..."
Change does not only come from the bottom of the sea.
Hu——
Hu——
At the same time, the same strong gale seemed to blow directly from the void, and the normal sea breeze on the sea was directly offset.
The direction of the surge changed accordingly, and the waves blown by the inexplicable strong sea breeze and the waves surging from the seabed formed a cross-like interference on the sea surface.
Then, two large waves of three or four meters high quietly merged into a huge wave of seven or eight meters high, carrying a terrifying momentum, and waves rushed to the "Storm Horn" almost at hand!
In Aiwen’s “data-based vision”, the wind speed at this time seemed to explode.
strengthened to 21.8 m/s almost in an instant, pushing the 8.53-meter-high water wall like mountains and seas.
And the black shadow under the water has stretched out for at least 6 kilometers! ! !
"Vad put down the mainsail! Change the side in the wind!"
No longer caring to observe what happened, Ivan frowned, and after quickly issuing an order to the cable leader, he personally grabbed the steering wheel, turned the bow to face the water wall and rushed up.
When encountering a huge wave, turning around and fleeing is to find death. Rushing up against the wave is the safest choice.
‘Goddess Bless! I just hope that the sea monsters I meet this time are not sea monsters!
This body type is not long enough even for the "Child of the Sea God"! Not so.... "Mother of the Sea Monster" committed suicide, right? ! ’
The experience of encountering a super storm in the open sea has given the crew of the "Cape Storm" a long time experience in dealing with this situation.
Suddenly encountered an accident, and did not panic, each of his duties controlled the battleship in an orderly manner.
嘭——
The bow split the water wall, and the waves splashed everywhere. But despite this, this tier 4 battleship, the pinnacle of human shipbuilding technology, was pushed far away by the roaring wind and waves.
Wow!
just because of the best posture to meet the huge waves~lightnovelpub.net~ the impact of the wooden hull was not heavy and there was no damage.
But.
Just as the crew were ready to adjust their posture to meet the uninterrupted impact of the next huge wave, the wind direction on the sea once again turned a hundred and eighty degrees!
At the same time the huge wave in front disappeared like a phantom.
Behind them, a huge wave no smaller than the front had formed in the blink of an eye.
boom!
This time, there is no longer any time for the "Storm Horn" to dodge. The huge kinetic energy tossed the battleship severely, and after a short period of clouds and fog, it fell heavily on the sea.
From the tip of a wave more than 8 meters high, it rushed into a trough about 10 meters apart.
The huge amount of sea water flew into the sky and turned into a heavy rain, and it fell down, turning all the crew of the "Cape Storm" into a rookie.
At this point, the huge waves and winds just now have completely disappeared on the sea like a phantom.
The crew got up in a daze.
"Look at you Captain! We seem to be trapped!"
Ivan, who returned the steering wheel to the helmsman, breathed a sigh of relief before he was led by a startled breath of the long sailing line Vader.
When Aiwen looked at the thing that suddenly appeared on the sea and had completely surrounded his "Storm Horn", he took a breath:
"This is... Hei Di?"
